Dear Editor,
The recent ramblings during a
conversation recorded between two
prominent members of society who are
supposed to be setting examples in this
country come as no surprise to some of
us.
Parliamentarian
and Attorney-at-Law, Basil
Williams
I have always had the feeling that
all the atrocious activities occurring
in this land of ours, are largely as a
result of young people having no proper
guidance, and those in high offices not
setting examples themselves, even when
they are the ones to implement rules,
and they are well aware of the laws
governing the country.
Mystery
tape
triggers deep concerns
The fact that the Vice-Chairman of a
major political party who is a lawyer
and obviously aware of the laws, could
be enquiring about firearms entering the
Cricket World Cup stadium 'licensed
or unlicensed' (as
though he's negotiating to have
something worked out or to take one in
himself) is enough to show what
kind of example these people are
setting. This was in addition to another
part of the conversation where the
'voice one' seems to be trying to cover
up a 'gun incident' he was purportedly
involved in according to the
conversation.
That parliamentarian should be
ashamed of himself now and I must say
that the contents of his side of the
conversation have shocked many in our
society.
Many persons residing overseas have
been calling Guyana to find out what's
going on. Just like a number of citizens
in this country they cannot believe the
atrocities taking place, but even I
cannot explain it.
Yours faithfully,
Delimira
James
